Any prerequisites for this to run? The other version floating around I was having problems with. Thanks for your hard work MicroMod

I have been brought to my knees on this. Evidently I cannot get the PC (WIN7) to see the pho9ne in adb or fastboot. I actually had it in fastboot for awhile last night but not adb. I uninstalled htc sync and reinstalled, updated my sdk, then I turned everything off.

This morning I cant get it to see in adb or fastboot. The problem is that I am doing this on my company work laptop and I really shouldn't be.

So this morning I loaded the sdk into one of my windows 8 machines and I have the same thing.

When I connect the usb cable I hear the notification sound, htc sync comes up (but it says it cant connect),and autoplay comes up. I can see it under computer. When I look at the device manager I do not see it.
I have tried several cables.

Currently I am downloading Superstock 2.07, I really liked that, but I like blinkfeed also.

Thanks

Hey Jerry don't feel so bad, I worked for a whole week to get my windows 8 pc to see my phone. I always had adb but not fastboo, always said usb device not recognized. its the drivers that are not updated. don't take it personal. I finally gave up and dual booted Linux mint and now have adb and fastboot. the only problem is that ruu would not run. but now that micro made the new zip it should work ok.

I made one of my personal Win8 machines into a dual boot with Ubuntu, but I really do not know how to muse it. I did download the sdk, that is about it. Congrats on your success. hehe

Just set up the sdk like u would a windows machine. open and close adb the same way through a terminal window.

Previously, if I needed to return to a stock firmware for any reason I would need to run the 1.15 ruu.exe

Is this ota all I need to flash from fastboot? Is this zip the full ruu but in a zip form instead of *.exe?

I hope all that made sense LOL

Thanks

Fails same place every time'. Remote: 22 loading zip info fail. 3 different downloads.

Looking at the ROM.zip size in properties it say size 898 MB (942,372,268 bytes). Size on disk : 942,374,912

I don't know if that means anything

Extracted into my file where fastboot and adb were located. I also tried to run torrented s' hboot reset to original. It ran without error but my honor is still 1.33. So I am sure I am doing something wrong.
Really starting to like your super digital sense 4.5.
